  • The Working Environment of Interpreters, Translators And
    The care and feeding of linguists: the working environment of interpreters, translators and linguists during peacekeeping in Bosnia-Herzegovina Dr Catherine Baker University of Southampton Contact details: Department of Modern Languages, Avenue Campus, University of Southampton, Highfield Road, Southampton, SO17 1BF. Email: [email protected] Abstract: The history of war and peacekeeping has little to say about languages or the people who work with them, yet a closer inspection shows that contacts between different languages and the presence of an interpreter were a routine experience during the peacekeeping and peace-building operations conducted by the UN and NATO in Bosnia-Herzegovina. This paper shows how political, strategic, tactical and economic pressures affected the working lives of local civilians employed as interpreters/translators/linguists and the soldiers from the multinational force who served as military interpreters. In so doing, it argues that the history of interlingual communication deserves to be included in the history of conflict. The United Nations (UN) and North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) operations in Bosnia-Herzegovina (BiH) to safeguard humanitarian aid convoys and protect the UN safe areas during the war (1992–95), then implement and uphold the Dayton peace agreement which laid out BiH’s post-war settlement, required a multi-national assortment of soldiers and civilian defence staff to encounter a place of which they mostly knew little and forced the remaining inhabitants of BiH to encounter them. Indeed, the activities of ‘peacekeeping’ comprised a multitude of intercultural encounters not only between the peacekeepers and the local civilian and military populations but also between the soldiers from more than 30 different national and military cultures who worked together at headquarters, in logistics or engineering projects, on weapons inspections and in combined training exercises.

The sessions facilitated a direct exchange with other PAC Chairs, Members, and Clerks on a range of technical issues, such as mechanisms for monitoring the implementation of recommendations and the use of media and technology in reaching out to the public. Members and Clerks of the Welsh and Bermudian PACs identified common challenges faced by parliaments and committees in small legislatures, and shared their approaches to managing, for example, parliamentarians’ limited time and resources. The eight delegates remained highly engaged in all discussions with their counterparts in Westminster and Cardiff, including the UK PAC Vice Chair Sir Geoffrey Clifton-Brown MP, and Welsh PAC Chair Nick Ramsay AM. Following the conclusion of the programme, delegates suggested specific changes they would undertake upon their return to Bermuda.
